Ask your teacher about the nature of the exam. Start off with a positive attitude. Use memory games. Test yourself frequently. Take breaks and reward yourself.

Dogs can often regurgitate, raise undigested food with no abdominal effort, without showing signs of other illnesses. If your dog regurgitates, he may just need his food to be raised off the floor so that gravity helps pass the food down into his stomach. However, if your dog forcefully vomits (acute vomiting) the contents of his stomach, this means his muscles are contracting. You'll notice your dog hunched up and the vomit will probably smell foul.  Regurgitation is usually a sign of esophageal issues or other problems in the early stages of the digestive process. For example, often dogs eat too much too quickly. In this case, the food your dog expels will usually be undigested and tubular in shape.  If your dog regularly regurgitates food, he may have a long term medical condition so put his food up on a chair, but also let your vet assess him. Think about your dog's recent diet, behaviour, emotions, and environmental conditions to determine what might be causing your dog's vomiting. For example, think about recent walks and whether your dog may have scavenged a carcass or eaten discarded food. Vomiting can be a common symptom of "garbage gut" where your dog eats things that aren't healthy which causes his body to force out the spoilt food. However, if he keeps vomiting, there may be a more serious cause including:  Bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract Intestinal parasites Severe constipation Acute kidney failure Acute liver failure Colitis Parvovirus Gall bladder inflammation Pancreatitis Ingestion of a poisonous substance Heatstroke An infected uterus A reaction to medicine Cancer If your dog vomits once, eats normally and has normal bowel movements, the vomiting was probably an isolated incident. If he vomits more than once throughout the day or if it continues beyond one day, take him to the vet immediately. Continued and repetitive vomiting should be investigated more fully by a vet. Your vet should be able to diagnose the condition by conducting a range of tests, including X-rays,...

TL;DR in English: Distinguish between vomiting and regurgitation to determine proper treatment. Consider the causes of vomiting. Assess whether the vomiting was a one-off or occurred multiple times. Examine the vomit to determine a cause of vomiting.

With each food pyramid that the USDA comes up with, fruits and vegetables (mostly vegetables) keep getting more and more emphasized. Your diet should consist mostly of the colorful stuff, along with lean protein and dairy. If all of your meals have fruit and/or vegetables (potatoes don't count!) as a main contender, you're doing it right. When it comes to nature's delicious gifts, the leafier and more colorful, the better. Potatoes and other starchy vegetables aren't nearly as good for and are loaded up with carbs -- and are made worse when they're fried in oil or slathered in butter. Make it a point to eat the entire rainbow every day. Protein is also an essential part of our diets. It builds and strengthens your muscles and keeps your appetite suppressed -- which means you won't be reaching for that late night Death by Chocolate, ruining the efforts you've made all day.  And as for dairy, eat a normal amount.  It's a good source of calcium.  Don't overdo it, though.  Those dairy-is-super-important messages you've been hearing are more indicative of the power of the dairy industry than anything; there's actually little correlation between osteoporosis and the like and significant correlation between high dairy consumption and prostate and ovarian cancer.  Don't be afraid of the saturated fats.  These fats, which were previously thought to be bad for you aren't actually bad.  In fact, low-fat products can contain added sugars.  One acceptable low-fat dairy product is greek yogurt which is high in protein.  However, don't be afraid of the fat content in dairy. . The benefits of water are practically endless. Your skin clears up, your organs get flushed out, toxins get rid of, you lose weight, and you feel more energized. And when you're drinking water, you're not drinking sugary, calorie-riffic drinks, hitting that temporary caffeine buzz and drinking empty calories. Win, win, win, win, win. Research says that if you up your water intake by around a liter a day, the weight will start slowly coming off -- with...

TL;DR in English: Stack on the fruits and vegetables. Think high protein and high fat dairy. Drink water Limit your consumption of processed goods and refined grains. Weigh and measure your food. Eat breakfast. Be food-aware at home, work, and school.

This will help you direct your studies logically. If it's an essay exam, for example, you may want to write practice essays. If it's multiple choice, you may want to test yourself before the exam. If your teacher has not explained his or her format, it's perfectly acceptable to ask about the format at some point during class. You want to go into studying feeling positive. A good attitude can help you keep up your stamina throughout the studying process. It can also set the tone for a productive studying session.  Think positive. Remind yourself of your skills and abilities. Think of studying as a way to build up your skill set and learn more. Avoid catastrophic thinking when studying. Try not to engage in thoughts such as, "I should have started studying earlier. What's wrong with me?" Instead, think something like, "I wish I started studying a little earlier, but it's okay. I'm still on track to succeed." Do not compare yourself to others when studying. Keep the focus on yourself and your abilities rather than comparing yourself to others in your class. Memory games can be an effective means to memorize difficult information. You can, for example, make up a sentence to help you remember a list or equation. A common memory game is the sentence, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fun." This helps students remember the five notes in treble clef (EGBDF). See if you can come up with similar memory games on your own. This is far more effective than simply re-reading the textbook. As you study, find ways to test yourself on the information. This will help you retain information later in a test setting.  For example, you can write down questions for yourself to answer later. If the teacher offers any practice tests, always take them. You can also use things like flashcards to help you memorize names, dates, and vocabulary. No one can study for hours on end without a break. You will study far more effectively if you give yourself breaks and rewards throughout the studying process.  Take short breaks to do something you enjoy....

TL;DR in English:


Touch base your doctor and registered dietitian. Reassess your goals. Write up a meal plan. Design your exercise plan.

Instead of the simple envelope bag, you may decide you want to try your hand at a tote bag. This method has you crochet two pieces and sew them together. This style bag has straps for handles so will be well-suited to use as a purse or shopping bag. The beginning steps of this alternate project are the same as the envelope-style bag. You'll want to make sure that you are comfortable with the basic crochet stitches, have carefully selected your yarn and hook, and have thought about what you want your final project to look like. Once you've done that, you're ready to start crocheting your new bag! You will be creating two pieces and sewing them together. If you do not want a flap for your bag, the front and back pieces will be identical. If you want a flap, however, you'll need to crochet the back piece to be taller. For example, if you want a bag that is 12" tall with a flap, you'll want to make your back piece longer—crocheting to 18" will give you a 6" flap. Counting your stitches carefully, create a chain until you reach the length you'd like the bottom and top width of your bag to be. You will be crocheting either a square or a rectangle, depending upon the shape you want your tote to be. If your chain is particularly long, you may find it helpful to use markers every ten or twenty stitches to help you keep count. Once you've completed your initial chain that is as long as you want the width of your bag to be, you'll need to turn so that you can start the next row on the opposite side. You will need to do this every time you get to the end of a row. To turn your work, simply rotate clockwise halfway so that your last stitch in the current row becomes the first stitch in the new row you are starting. Keep crocheting, turning, and creating new rows until you reach the desired height you are aiming for. Remember that if you want a flap for back, the back piece will need to be longer (taller) than the front piece. Once your front (or back piece, depending on which you are working on) is as tall as you want it...

TL;DR in English: Review steps 1-5 from above. Decide if you will want your bag to have a flap. Create a chain. Turn your work, and then single crochet back along your chain. Continue to single crochet. Fasten off your yarn. Repeat Steps 3-6 for the second piece of your bag. Sew the front and back pieces together. Make a strap for your bag.

Warm hands and fingers are more comforting for the sinuses than cold hands and fingers. Cold hands and fingers can cause muscle tension. One option is to place a small amount of oil on your palm (about a quarter-sized amount). The oil helps to lessen the friction caused by your hands rubbing against your face. The scent of the oil may also help to promote relaxation. Good oils to use for a sinus massage include almond oil, baby oil, or castor oil. Just make sure to not get any of it in your eyes while you massage close to those areas. The indentation of the eye sockets are located on either side of where the bridge of the nose meets the ridge of the eyebrows. When pressure is applied to this area, it can help to relieve colds, sinus congestion, frontal sinus headaches and tired eyes. Use your thumbs. The thumbs are recommended because they tend to be stronger than other fingers. For other people, using the index finger may be more comfortable. Do whatever feels the most soothing and comfortable for you. Do this for one minute The amount of pressure you apply should be somewhere between pleasant and firm.  Then, press your fingers into the area and move them in a circular motion for two minutes. Keep your eyes closed as you massage this area. Move your thumbs, or alternatively, your index and middle fingers so that they are placed on either side of your cheek, just outside each nostril. When pressure is applied to this area, it can help to relieve nasal congestion and sinus pain.  Apply firm and constant pressure on your cheeks for about a minute. Then, move your fingers in a circular motion for two minutes. If there is a buildup of pressure in your sinuses, this basic massage may feel a little intense, and this is normal. However, if you feel any deep pain, you should stop and try an alternative remedy or consult your doctor.

TL;DR in English: Rub your hands and fingers together to warm your fingers. Locate the indentation of the eye sockets. Apply finger pressure directly on the indentation of the eye sockets. Apply pressure to your cheeks. Stop the massage if you feel any pain.

When you are changing your focus from losing weight or meeting a certain goal to maintaining the healthy body you have fought hard to achieve, your dietary needs may change, too. Before becoming fit and healthy you likely met with your doctor and/or a dietitian, and now would be a good time to follow up and discuss your new goals. If you haven't met with either of these health professionals, now is a great time to make an appointment. This is especially important if, for you, getting healthy has involved beating an illness, recovery from surgery or finding a strategy for handling a chronic condition.   Meet with your regular doctor.  Talk to them about what your goals are, any diets or exercise programs you've done and any lifestyle changes you've made. Discuss any strategies to keep up your momentum going forward. A registered dietitian is a nutrition professional who will be able to provide you with information and a healthy eating plan. If you have been losing weight and have finally reached your target weight, you will need to change to a diet focused on maintaining your weight, not shedding or gaining pounds. Your dietitian will work with you to make a meal plan that meets your new goals and provide you with appropriate levels of nutrition. Your previous goals likely had to do with becoming fit and healthy. Now that you have reached that place, it is a good idea to set new goals to keep yourself motivated. Try setting both short- and long-term goals. Studies have shown that setting smaller, more achievable goals will help you reach a larger goal over time.  Small goals at healthy, maybe you want to run a 5k. Set a long-term goal to run a 5k in two months, and smaller goals leading up to the race — be able to run 2.5k by the end of the first month, or goals to run 5k in shorter and shorter amounts of time. Ensure your goals are realistic for you - just being able to stand unaided is a huge achievement for some people. Keep striving for higher goals. Maybe next you will run a half-marathon.

Determine the car’s market value. Lower car costs if you do purchase. Consider your peace of mind. Consider professional factors.

Secure the jaws of a wire stripper 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of one of the wires you’re splicing together. Squeeze the handles together firmly together and pull the jaws toward the end of the wire to remove the insulation. Repeat the process on the end of the other wire you’re splicing as well.  You can get wire strippers from your local hardware store. If you don’t have a wire stripper, you can also slice through the insulation with a utility knife. Just be careful not to cut through the actual wire inside. If you accidentally break strands off of a stranded wire, then the wire could cause a fuse to blow. Cut any remaining strands on the wire and try stripping it again. Get heat-shrink tubing that’s a gauge larger than the wire you’re using so you can easily slide it on. Cut a piece of tubing that’s at least 2 inches (5.1 cm) long so it’s able to cover the splice and some of the insulation later on. Slide the heat-shrink tubing onto one of the wires and move it at least 1 foot (30 cm) away from the exposed end.  You can buy heat-shrink tubing from your local hardware store or online. Avoid using heat-shrink tubing that’s too large for the wire since you may not be able to secure it completely. Don’t keep the heat-shrink tubing near the area you’re soldering since it could shrink from the heat of your soldering iron. Line up the centers of the exposed wires so they form an X-shape. Bend one of the wires down to twist it around the other wire as tightly as you can so it has a firm connection. Make sure the end of the wire doesn’t stick up or point away from the splice or else you won’t have as firm of a connection. Repeat the process with the other wire so your splice looks even on both sides. Alligator clips are small metal grips that work well for holding wires in place without them moving around. Place the alligator clips vertically on a flat work surface so the jaws face up. Secure each of the wires into 1 alligator clip so the splice is supported off the work surface between them.  You can get...

TL;DR in English: Strip 1 in (2.5 cm) of the insulation off the end of each wire. Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing onto one of the wires. Twist the ends of the wires together to combine them. Clamp the wires in alligator clips to keep them off of your work surface. Put rosin flux on the spliced wire to help the solder adhere better.

Fermentation occurs best in a temperature of between 18 and 22 degrees Centigrade (64 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit).   Place your glass canning jar in a climate controlled space to achieve the desired temperature. An absence of light also helps the fermentation process along.  Place the jar in a dark closet or cover it with a thick cloth. After two or three days, the lacto-fermentation process will start.  To prevent excess buildup of gasses, slowly twist the top of the sealed glass canning jar until you hear gasses start to escape.  Twist it closed quickly.  Repeat daily.  Some specially-designed canning jars include an airlock that automatically ejects carbon dioxide from the vessel as it accrues.  Such vessels do not need to be burped. Consult manufacturer directions for more information about whether burping your glass canning jar is necessary. After two to four days in a cool-to-room-temperature location, the vessel should be moved.  The target temperature is about four degrees Centigrade (40 degrees Fahrenheit).  For small batches, the bottom shelf of the fridge works nicely. There is no single “right” time to end the lacto-fermentation process.  Most people wait one to three weeks to allow the lacto-fermentation process to work.  Once you’ve waited on the lacto-fermentation process as long as you wish to, remove the vessel and sample the flavor.  You can always replace the lid and allow the fermentation process to continue for longer (though removing the lid of the glass canning jar will slow the momentum of the process). Experiment with the lacto-fermentation process by waiting a longer or shorter time before tasting the product.  This will allow you to achieve the flavor you want.

TL;DR in English: Place the vessel in a cool, dark place. Burp your glass canning jar. Move the glass canning jar to a cooler location. Taste your lacto-fermented product.

If the repairs are less than half of your car’s market value, then you should probably do the repair.  However, if, for instance, the repairs are, say $1,500 and the vehicle’s market value is $2,000, then doing the repairs is probably not worth it. Check Edmunds’ True Market Value Calculator or Kelley Blue book to determine the market value of your car. Do you even know your old car’s actual worth? This can matter when you go to trade it in, because the trade-in value will be counted off the price of a new car. Consider how long the repairs will add to the life on your car. A new engine, for example, can greatly extend the shelf life of some cars. Consider how nice it is to enjoy life without a car payment too! What could you do with that extra $300 or so? Within five years, a new car loses about 50 percent of its value. There are ways you can lower costs when you purchase a car. These are things to keep in mind.  Pay cash if you can. This will lower interest costs on the car, and that will make a huge difference in the overall amount you actually end up paying on it. Consider buying a used car. It’s best to consider cars under five years old with mileage limits under 100,000, which have had no refurbishing or major accidents, and for which there is a warranty. They say you should always buy the most house you can afford and the least car you can tolerate, because the value of homes often builds, whereas the value of cars depreciates the second you drive them off the lot. You can only put a mathematical calculation on some things, like the cost of repairs. However, there are some costs to a car that are intrinsic. Safety concerns include whether the car has working seat belts or dual front airbags.  For example, do you worry about being safe? Do you have to drive in tough winters with bad tires? Do you drive at night a lot for work? Are you in situations with children where you just can’t risk the car breaking down and being stranded? It might be worth the extra cost then, if there is one. A newer vehicle is...

Pick a mirror that’s big enough to fit as much of you in the shot as you want. For instance, a small wall mirror works if you just want a selfie of your face, whereas you need a taller mirror if you want a picture of your whole body. Keep in mind that you can crop your selfies, too. If you just want your face in the picture, but you only have a giant wall mirror, crop the rest of your body out of the photo after you take it. If you’re taking your selfie in your bedroom or your own house, make sure the space that will be showing in the picture is organized and clean. For example, put away any dirty clothes on the floor, make your bed, and check that anything potentially embarrassing, like your life-sized celebrity crush poster, is hidden. Natural lighting is the most flattering for pictures. To take advantage of this, open the blinds or curtains on windows to allow more light in and try to take your picture during the day when it’s sunny outside. If it’s nighttime, recreate natural lighting by turning on soft, warm lamps instead of bright overhead lights.  Avoid fluorescent or harsh white lights which dull your skin. Make sure that the light isn’t directly at your back. Otherwise, you’ll just be a silhouette. Adjust the light if possible so that it hits you in the front.

TL;DR in English: Find a mirror that’s the right size, like a full-length one for a full body selfie. Clean up the room that’s visible in the mirror if possible. Find a spot that has good natural lighting or that is well-lit.

Turn the unintentional slight into something you can laugh about by following the comment with a joke.  Saying “Just kidding! Can you imagine if that were true? Wow!” can help you to play it off and brush aside the comment Add some levity by saying something like "one of my many talents is knowing the perfect thing to say to anyone in any situation" and laughing. Tell the person you accidentally insulted that you were just kidding and the comment was more of a personal statement about yourself. Someone is more likely to let it go if you say that you were actually being honest about yourself and didn’t mean the comment about the other person. If you insult someone's looks, make up a story that turns your comment into a personal narrative. "I have always been self conscious about my looks, so I sometimes project onto others. Let the person know that you didn't mean to insult them and apologize honestly for the slight. Admit your mistake in insulting the person and try to wrap the comment with a compliment.  If you insulted the person by pointing out something that you don’t like about the person, be honest about it. Say something like, “I’m sorry that I hurt you. I just think sometimes you wear too much perfume to work. Maybe I just have a really sensitive sense of smell. I really like your outfit though! You have the best wardrobe, where do you shop?” If you sent an email to the wrong person, apologize and say that the message was meant for someone else, but that you really shouldn’t have said the comment at all.

Hydroponics means growing plants without soil. Water-soluble fertilizer is used instead. It can produce bigger yields in a shorter period of time, but is more expensive, harder to set up, and requires more careful maintenance. It is ideal for people who are going into the business of growing medical marijuana for sale. That said, hydroponics kits can be purchased that make this an attractive option even for beginners growing their own supply. There are active systems, which use mechanical devices to deliver nutrients to the plants, and the passive wick systems. While active systems can produce higher yields faster, they are also more expensive, more delicate, and require more maintenance.  Passive Wick System – The plant sits in a well-draining substrate above a nutrient solution, and nutrients are constantly drawn up into the substrate through a wick. Substrates: vermiculate, peat moss, coco peat. Ebb and Flow – A nutrient reservoir periodically floods the containers where your plants are growing. The solution then slowly drains back into the reservoir. Substrates: rockwool or coco peat. Top Feed/Drip Feed – Emitters drip nutrients directly into the soil near the roots. Excess nutrients then drain back down into the nutrient reservoir. Substrates: hydroton clay pebbles, coco peat, or rockwool. Nutrient Film – Multiple plants are placed in a tilted tray, with nutrients constantly flowing down the slope past their roots, then being pumped back to flow past again. An effective system, but best for experience growers as it requires a lot of fine-tuning. Substrates: rockwool or coco peat. Deep Water Culture – The roots grow in a constantly oxygenated nutrient solution. It is a low maintenance system, but a loss of power or incorrect nutrient levels can kill your plants. Substrates: rockwool or hydroton clay pebbles. Aeroponics – The plant roots are held in a dark, sealed box where small nozzles emit a mist of nutrients over them, providing a humid, oxygenated area for the roots. This is the most effective system...

TL;DR in English: Use hydroponics to achieve higher yields indoors. Choose your hydroponic system. Germinate your seeds. Fill your system with nutrient solution. Care for your plants during the vegetative stage. Induce flowering. Snip off any male flowers. Change your care regimen during flowering.

If an outbreak of oral herpes, which consists of cold sores or blisters around the mouth, isn’t too severe, you can leave it alone and not treat it. Your symptoms may go away within one to two weeks without treatment. Use this option only if you feel well and are not likely to come into contact with anyone. There is no cure for oral herpes and treating it with antiviral medications can help heal outbreaks sooner and lessen the severity of recurrences. It may also minimize the chance of transmitting the virus to other people.  Common medications for oral herpes are Acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex).  Your doctor may also prescribe an antiviral skin cream like Penciclovir instead of a pill. These creams have basically the same effect as pills but are very expensive.  Your doctor may advise using the medication only if you have symptoms or an outbreak, or she may recommend daily use even if no signs of an outbreak are present. An important part of living with oral herpes is communicating with your partner or partners that you have the virus. You can then decide the best ways to manage the virus as a couple. Oral herpes are very common and you shouldn’t worry about feeling any stigma with them. Talk to your partner about the best ways you can minimize the chances of infecting him or having further outbreaks. Whether your oral herpes are dormant or you are having an outbreak of cold sores, you need to take steps to prevent your partner from contracting the disease. There are several way to minimize the risk of transmitting oral herpes to you or your partner.  Avoid skin to skin contact when you have blisters or cold sores. The liquid secreted from the lesions spreads the disease.  Don’t share items if you have blisters or cold sores. This includes, eating and drinking utensils, towels, lip balm, or bedding.  Avoid oral sex if you have any cold sores or blisters.  Wash your hands frequently, especially if you touch your mouth or come in contact with others. Even though oral...

Look closely at your scars to figure out what color they are. Select a concealer or foundation color that's opposite to your acne scar color on the color wheel. This will effectively camouflage the acne scar. You could use:  Green concealer to cover up reddish acne scars. Yellow concealer to even out blemish areas caused by scars. Pink concealer to balance out purple or dark blemish areas. Use a thin brush that is slightly feathered at the end to apply the concealer. Place a pea-sized amount of concealer on the back of your hand and rub the brush into it. Brush a light layer of concealer over the scar.  You can use your finger to apply the concealer. Just take care not to apply to much or it may actually draw attention to your scar. You'll need to apply a foundation to hide your concealer, especially if your skin tone is a little different than the makeup or you've used a green concealer that's very noticeable. Apply your usual foundation so that your skin tone evens out and the scar is no longer visible. Take care when applying the foundation directly over the scar to avoid rubbing away the concealer. Let your foundation rest for a minute so that it dries a little. Take a large powder brush and apply your powder with broad upward strokes. You can use a loose powder that you simply dab the brush into and tap. Or, you can rub the brush into a pressed powder and tap it before applying. Remember to wash off your makeup every night. This is a habit that will keep your skin healthy and prevent future acne breakouts.

TL;DR in English: Select a concealer to hide the scars. Apply the concealer to your scars. Apply a foundation. Set your makeup with powder.

When you like someone, it's easy to overthink what you are going to say to him. If you type out a long message and ask him out in the middle of it, he may miss your question. Keep the message short and to the point. Send a text that only includes you asking him out.  Don't ramble by saying, “I've been thinking about what I could do this weekend because I'm getting bored being home all the time. Would you want to go out? I know there isn't that much to do but I thought that we could have fun together. Anyway, I'm not even sure….” You might want to ask out a guy from school. A teenage guy is more likely to respond to a simple text than to one where you ramble a lot. Text him something like, “Would you want to go out this weekend?” If you want to ask out a coworker, say, “We never get much time to talk one-on-one at work. Would you want to grab a drink when we clock out tomorrow?” You may be tempted to beat around the bush, or mention going out in a vague way that he could miss. When you text him, say that you want to go out with him and ask him if he would be interested in doing that. It's important that he knows you are asking him out.  For example, don't say, “I haven't dated much recently and you seem like you haven't either. Maybe we would be able to do something together. That might be pretty cool.” Say, “Are you interested in going out with me?” This is especially important when you are asking a guy out who you are already friends with. It's important to make sure they know you want to go out romantically. Say, “I know we hang out a lot, but would you want to go to Orion's party with me as my date?” When you ask someone out, it's not all that effective to say, “Do you want to go out sometime?” There is no specific timeline or activity involved. Think of something cool you could do together and ask him to do that. Also offer a couple of times that would work well for you.

Use this method to create a permanent decoration for personal enjoyment. Find a frame that fits your puzzle. Cut a backing material to fit the frame. Slide a layer of wax paper under the puzzle. Use a rolling pin to flatten the puzzle. Brush puzzle glue over the surface of the puzzle. Wait for the glue to dry. Glue the puzzle to the backing material. Let the puzzle dry for at least 24 hours, weighing it down if necessary. Frame the puzzle.

. One of the most important steps in building a foundation of trust is to do what you say you will do. Even if it is a small thing, canceling or failing to follow through will create hairline fractures in your trustworthiness. Although the occasional failure to follow through may not seem like a big deal; repeated failures can add up. Over time, people in your life may come to see you as less trustworthy. Trust requires that people believe you will be dependable in the long-term. Thus, when you make someone a promise, you must keep it.  If you truly cannot keep a promise you've made, explain face-to-face why you cannot do as you said you would. Especially if your promise was a major one, an explanation might not be enough. You may need to make a new promise to make it up to that person. Be sure to keep this new promise, no matter what! Do not belittle the original promise. However small and insignificant a promise may seem, realize that the other person may place great significance on it. Any lack of follow through could be hugely disappointing. An important part of the definition of reliability is following through with your word many times over an extended period. By definition, someone reliable is someone you can almost always count on. Keep in mind that doing what you say only once or twice won’t build the solid foundation of trust in your relationships that you want.

TL;DR in English: Do what you say Honor your promises. Be consistent.

Use a pencil to mark your height on a wall, then use a tape measure to get an exact measurement. Next, get your current weight using a bathroom scale.  While the individual measurements associated with the suit are also important to get the right fit, your height and weight can help you estimate your fit. This is especially important if you're going to have your suit tailored, because height and weight helps tailors determine your “drop” of the suit, which is the difference between the size of the pants and jacket. Choose the type of shirt that you’d normally wear under a suit. This will help you avoid getting a jacket that’s too snug. For example, you might put on an undershirt and a white dress shirt if that’s what you normally wear. The over-arm measurement will help to find the width of the entire jacket, from shoulder-to-shoulder. Start your tape measure at the joint of one shoulder. Then, run it across the top of your shoulders, behind your neck, and to the joint of your other shoulder. When determining measurements, don't pull the tape measure tight. Instead, make sure it fits snugly around your body. This measurement is essential to get the right body-fit and a flattering cut for your jacket. To take it, raise both arms and run the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, underneath both your arms. Go all the way around your body. Then, lower your arms to secure the tape measure and record the measurement.  Your nipples are typically where the widest part of your chest is. Don't flex your chest muscles while taking this measurement, as this could make your suit fit too big. Place the end of your tape measure at the shoulder seam of your dress shirt. Then, slide the tape measure down your arm toward your wrist. Take the measurement at your wrist to find your proper sleeve length. You may also need to provide your coat in-sleeve measurement for a custom-made suit. This is the measurement of the underside of your arm. To get it, place the end of the tape measure in your armpit, then pull it...

TL;DR in English: Check your height and weight. Wear a dress shirt while measuring so your jacket will fit over it. Measure shoulder-to-shoulder to get your over-arm measurement. Raise your arms and measure around the widest part of your chest. Measure your arm from your shoulder down to your wrist. Get your jacket length by measuring from your neck to your thumb. Measure around your neck under your Adam’s apple.

If you aren't interested in disassembling the puzzle at any point, you can use a specialized glue to permanently attach the pieces together. This can create a glossier, sturdier piece of artwork, but may reduce the value of your puzzle. Because of this, this method is not recommended for antique or valuable puzzles, and some puzzle hobbyists do not use it at all. Because your assembled jigsaw puzzle may have slightly different dimensions than listed on the box, use a ruler or tape measure to get an accurate measurement before selecting a frame. Some craft shops sell frames in pieces, which you can reassemble into rectangular frames with a custom length/width combination. Select poster board, foam board, or sturdy cardboard approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, and cut a rectangle that can be inserted into your frame.This material will provide a backing for the puzzle, keeping it flat and in the frame. A utility knife is recommended to make even cuts, along with a T-square or protractor to ensure the sides are cut to at 90º angle. Avoid using thin cardboard or other easily bent material, as this may cause the puzzle to warp over time. Protect the surface underneath the puzzle by carefully slipping something flat and disposable, such as wax paper, underneath the puzzle. Small bumps and loose pieces can be evened out before gluing with a rolling pin. Press down on the rolling pin as you move it across the puzzle surface several times. Purchase specialized jigsaw puzzle glue from a craft store or online. Use a paintbrush to apply this glue across the surface of the puzzle, covering the entire area with a thin layer. Pay special attention to the cracks between pieces. If your puzzle glue comes in powdered form, read the instructions to learn how to prepare it before use. Your bottle of puzzle glue may contain specific directions, telling you how long to wait for the glue to dry. If it does not, leave the glued puzzle alone for at least two hours. Test to see if its ready by gently lifting one end of the puzzle. If...

There are notable differences between the two styles of amplification. Tube amps use vacuum tubes in both the pre-amplification and power amplification stages, whereas solid-state amps use transistors for all stages. This can, and usually does result in markedly different tones.    Solid-state amps are known for delivering bright, clean, accurate sounds. They respond quickly to your playing, and are far more rugged than tube amps: think of the difference between a light bulb (tube) and an LED (solid state). Throw both of them on the floor, and you'll be scooping up one of them with a dustpan! Also, with advances in technology, many solid-state amps are loaded with a wide array of modeled amp sounds, giving you a lot of versatility.      Solid-state amps from a given manufacturer tend to sound the same, which can be a benefit when you need a reliable, repeatable tone. They are also notably lighter—both in weight, and on the pocketbook—than their tube brethren. This versatility and ruggedness comes at the expense of warmth of tone. While this is an entirely subjective evaluation, there are some differences that account for this: when pushed into distortion, a solid-state amp's waveform shows a hard-clipped edge and harmonics that stay strong through the range of hearing. By comparison, a tube amp pushed to distortion has a soft clipping edge, and harmonics that fall off well within the limits of hearing, giving tube amps their famed warmth.  Tube (valve) amps have a certain unmeasurable "something" to them that makes them the most popular type of amp. The sound of a tube amp has been described as "thick," "creamy," "fat," and "rich"—adjectives that would pack on the pounds if amps were food!      Tube amps can vary slightly in tone from amp to amp, and certainly do from player to player. For some players, their amp is the one that, in conjunction with their guitar, defines their sound. Tube distortion is softer, and to most, more pleasing to the ear, and when pushed hard, adds some compression to the dynamics...

TL;DR in English: Compare tube versus solid state. The drawbacks of tube amps are generally more practical than sonic. Beware of type-casting.

A weft of hair is a single row of hair to be clipped between your own layers of hair to add length. You can buy either synthetic or human hair in wefts, with the latter being the pricier of the two options.  Match your color as best as possible. Hair extensions are intended to look natural, which they are unable to do if there is a simple discrepancy in hair color. Find the right length of hair. Although you obviously want your extensions to be longer than your current length, avoid adding a dramatic amount of difference between your natural length and the extensions. Not only will it obviously look fake, but it will cost a significantly higher amount of money. Stick to 4 inches (10.2 cm) of extra length at the most. You can do this by pulling all of the hair on the top of your head into a ponytail. Leave a thin section of hair down against your neck/back. As you add extensions, you will continue to let down more sections of hair of about an inch each. Take a back-comb and rat your hair at the roots. You want your hair to gain ½ to a full inch in volume at the base of the strands.  Teasing your hair gives the extensions something to stick to. Natural hair is too slippery for the clips to hold long without sliding down your strands. Ratting the roots of your  hair also provides coverage for the clips. This makes it more difficult to tell you are wearing extensions. You should be able to dig into the teased section of hair to allow for the best stick.  Be sure to evenly space the extensions, so that you have a level length of hair all the way around your head. You can give your hair the look of layers. Apply the extensions in evenly spaced vertical sections. You may need to cut the extensions to blend them in with your natural hair. Feel free to cut or trim your extensions to match the rest of your hair. You are not required to leave them as-is from the packaging. Repeat the same steps as above, by teasing your hair at the roots and adding in one weft at a time. Tease your hair at the roots and brush out the...

The aluminum foil from your kitchen is fine to use. Cover the decal, and hold it with tape or your hand. The foil reflects thermal energy back into the object it is covering, so the foil will help the decal warm up more than if you leave it exposed, once you take a hairdryer to it.  You can use take a hairdryer to the decal without foil, though it may not heat up as well. Any type of hair dryer will work. Plug in the hairdryer to the nearest socket. Make sure that the bathtub or surrounding area is dry before turning on the hairdryer. Heat it on a hot, high setting until the sticker has softened. This will probably take a couple of minutes. Slowly go over every part of the sticker with the dryer. Keep the hair dryer at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from the sticker while you dry. The sticker should be soft by the time you finish drying. Pull it up and peel it back slowly starting at one end of the sticker. The sticker may not peel off easily and begin to tear. If this happens, take your fingers and lift up the decal around the edges, slowly working towards the center. Do this until the sticker comes completely comes off. Try to keep the toy and clear adhesive film layer together as you pull the decal off. If the decal is stubborn and won’t come off, you will need to scrape it off. Take a plastic ice scraper and work around the edges or the parts of the sticker that has not come off. Continue to scrape until there are no remnants of the decal left. You can also use a box cutter or razor if a plastic ice scraper is not available. Metal can leave marks, so be careful to not to cut into the bathtub. A sticky residue may still be left over after removing the sticker. Spray WD-40 onto the sticky surface, and wipe it off with a rag or paper towel. Scrub the bathtub surface until there is no adhesive residue left. You can use water and white vinegar to remove sticky residue if WD-40 is not available. WD-40 will leave a greasy residue, so you will need to wash the surface where the decal was to remove it. You should...

Find the first and second numbers in the problem. For example, in 6 + (-2), 6 would be the first number and -2 would be the second. Put it on the first number in your problem. In 6 + (-2) you would start by putting your finger on 6 on your number line. Adding a negative number is very similar to regular subtraction. You have now moved 1 space. This will make sure you end on the answer to your problem. For example, if the second number in your problem is -2, you should have moved your finger to the left 2 spaces. This is the answer to your addition problem. For example, if your problem was 6 + (-2), you would have started with your finger on 6. You would have moved your finger to the left two spaces, ending on 4. 6 + (-2) = 4. This is to check your answer. If you get an answer when you check your problem, try again to see where you made your mistake.

Proximity alarms will alert you when equipment is removed outside of a specific radius. Verify that the appropriate radius is programmed into the alarm receivers. This will prevent false alarms from occurring when employees take laptops with them to meetings or to other sections of the office building. A central location will accurately track computers based on the radius programmed into the transmitter. Keep the receivers with your security staff if possible, since your security guards may be the best source for assistance in the event office computers are being stolen.

Do most pruning during the winter. Remove suckers growing on the base of the tree. Cut away dead and diseased wood. Remove branches that do not come from the fruiting wood. Trim down the secondary branches. Consider cutting back the main branches considerably. Pinch out new growth during the summer. Remove potentially harmful fruit in autumn.

Paying attention to what a person’s body movements (or lack of movement) are telling you can often reveal more to you than what they are actually saying.Look for behavior and body language that is different from what they normally do.  Is their body shaking or obviously tense? This is usually a sign of nervousness and nervousness is common when people lie. Liars sometimes try to make very little movement with their body in effort to control their “tells”.  This also gives away the fact that they are lying, because usually they are unnaturally still. Are they sweating? This is a nervous reaction people cannot control. So, if they are sweating for no reason, it might be because they are lying. This is often something children do. Fidgeting (tapping fingers, playing with hair, etc.) can often be a sign or “tell” that someone is lying. Wringing or clasping and unclasping their hands may also be an indicator of lying. Small eye movements such as slight narrowing or widening, darting around, and even closing (for longer than a blink) can be indications that someone is lying to you.  If someone immediately and quickly looks away when they begin to tell you something or when you ask them a tough question, they might be lying. Especially young children are often not able to make normal eye contact when they are lying. However, skilled liars have no problem making eye contact.   People normally glance away a bit when talking. A person who's making a point of keeping eye contact is more likely to be lying as they're probably trying to convince you and themselves that they aren't lying. Things like jaw clinching, lip biting, forehead wrinkling, etc. can all be small signs that the person isn't being completely honest with you.  Expressions on a person’s face, especially skilled liars, can often be limited to their mouth instead of the whole face, particularly when they are trying to control their expressions.  Is their nose red or are they scratching it? Called "The Pinocchio Effect", blood rushes to the nose when a...

This should include reference cards describing the 10 phases as well as 108 additional cards--24 red, 24 orange, 24 yellow, 24 green (all numbered), 4 skip cards, and 8 wild cards. Each player should receive 10 cards, which are held so that only the player holding the hand can see which cards they are. This will serve as the draw pile. Turn over the top card of this pile and set it face-up next to the draw pile. This will serve as the discard pile. This player will take the top card of either the draw pile or the discard pile, then choose one of their cards to discard. During the first round, each player is trying complete phase 1 (see above) so they can go out and end the round. The round ends and all players score and discard their current hands . Anyone who completed phase 1 in round 1 moves on to trying to complete phase 2, but anyone who could not complete phase 1 needs to do so before proceeding. It is still possible for anyone to win, however; it all depends on who goes out and who ends up with a lot of cards. This person is typically considered the winner, although some people play so that the person with the fewest points wins, no matter who ends the game.

TL;DR in English: Shuffle and deal a deck of Phase 10 cards. Put the rest of the deck down in the middle of the players. Start the game with the player to the left of the dealer. Stop playing once someone ‘goes out’. Continue playing in this manner until someone plays a phase 10 and goes out.

Once your fig tree reaches its third dormant season, or third winter, the vast majority of your pruning should take place during the late portion of the season since the tree is not actively growing during that time period. Wait until after the coldest part of the season has passed, though.  Pruning during the winter reduces the risk of shocking or damaging the tree during its early stages of growth, but doing so also makes the process easier since the lack of leaves will make the branches more visible. You could wait to do this pruning until early spring, if desired, but it should be done before the fig tree shows signs of new growth. A sucker is a branch that begins to grow from the base or roots of the fig tree. It can look similar to the tree itself but can be identified by the fact that it does not stem from the main branch or trunk of the tree.  Suckers result from a tree's attempt at growing more branches, but if the tree is stressed or spliced, it can put out suckers instead of healthy branches from the main trunk. Suckers need to be removed. If you do not prune these branches, they will drain energy from the main, healthy tree, and your fig tree will gradually weaken and produce a smaller yield as a result. Similarly, secondary lateral branches should also be removed if they grow close to the ground. These plants will be unable to adequately support fruit or foliage, so they would only be a drain on the tree's resources if they remained, just as most suckers are. If part of your fig tree shows signs of disease, you need to remove those branches to prevent the disease from spreading to the rest of the tree. Similarly, you need to cut off dead or dying wood. Dead wood is unsightly, but more importantly, it can invite disease as it decays. Note that if one of your main fruiting branches becomes damaged, you should remove it and select a newly formed sucker or branch late the following winter as a new fruiting branch for your tree. New growth that does not emerge from the fruiting wood you designated...

This is more of a coconut shortbread-type cookie. Because there is no egg in this recipe, the dough may seem a bit more crumbly. If your dough is too dry and crumbly after beating the ingredients together, add 1 to 2 tablespoons cream or soft butter. Add them in 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough looks wet and sticks together.  It’s also important to measure out all the ingredients properly. Use metal or plastic measuring cups for the dry ingredients. Do not tap or shake the cup when measuring. Instead, level off any excess amount by running a straight edge knife across the top of the cup. To prepare the butter for this recipe, make sure it is softened but not melted. If possible, let the butter sit at room temperature 30-45 minutes before you plan to make the cookie dough. If you are using an electric mixer to beat together the ingredients, use the mixer bowl. If you are beating the ingredients together by hand, use a regular mixing bowl. Pour 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 cups butter, softened, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla into the mixing bowl.  Beat the ingredients at low speed until well mixed. Scrape the sides of the bowl often with a spatula. Make sure the coconut flakes are the sweetened kind to add the right amount of sweetness to these cookies. Shape each half into a 12 x 2 inch log. Refrigerate both logs for at least 2 hours to firm up the dough. Then, take out the logs and place them on a clean work surface. Place each slice 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. This recipe should make about 8 dozen cookies. If you want to make less than 8 dozen cookies in one sitting, halve the recipe. The edges should be lightly golden and brown. Then, place the cookies on a cooling rack. Enjoy your traditional Scandinavian coconut cookies!

TL;DR in English: Keep in mind this recipe does not use any eggs. Take out a mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl. Combine all the ingredients, except the flaked coconut. Stir in 1 cup flaked coconut with a spatula or wooden spoon. Divide the dough in half with a knife. Wrap each log in plastic wrap. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use a knife to cut the logs into ¼ inch slices. Bake the cookies for 10-14 minutes. Cool them for about a minute on the cookie sheet.

Peel 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh ginger and two cloves of garlic, then finely chop along with 3 scallions. Feel free to add additional spices. Consider 1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame seeds to match the other East Asian ingredients. Mix the flavorful ingredients together with 1/4 cup (60 mL) olive oil and 3 tbsp (45 mL) soy sauce. Pour the marinade into a zip locked bag or a wide dish, then place the salmon in the marinade. Refrigerate, turning fillets occasionally, for 30–60 minutes. If you continue to marinade past that point, the texture of the fish may be compromised. Because the marinade was in contact with raw fish, it should be discarded after use, or brought to a boil before using as a sauce. If you like, you can create a glaze to brush onto your salmon for additional flavor during cooking. A simple glaze that pairs well with this marinade is a mixture of 2 tbsp (30 mL) honey, 1 tsp (5 mL) soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) Sriracha. Feel free to experiment with the amounts until you find a flavor you enjoy, keeping in mind the glaze may seem overpowering when tasted on its own, rather that eaten on the salmon. Consider pan-searing your salmon to a temperature of 125–140ºF (52–60ºC) on each side. If you do not have a thermometer, avoid overcooking by cooking only skin-side down, briefly cooking the flesh side for only 15–30 seconds once the salmon is opaque but still mostly juicy.  You may eat the skin of the salmon, or remove it after cooking. You may also grill, bake, broil, or poach your salmon after marinading.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the aromatic ingredients. Mix with the other marinated ingredients. Marinate the salmon. Prepare the glaze (optional). Cook your salmon.

in the wall. The best way to do this is to use a stud finder, sliding it along the wall horizontally until the stud finder indicates where the stud is. Once you’ve located the studs, use a pencil to mark where they are. You can also try to find the studs by looking for small dimples in the trim or knocking on the wall and listening for a solid sound instead of a hollow one. To create the first hole for your special bracket, use a 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) drill bit to get started. Once you’ve created a small hole, switch to a 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) bit and drill a hole for the bracket, making sure not to drill too deep. You can measure the bracket’s length and then use a piece of tape to mark the drill bit so that you don’t drill too far in. Place the bracket in the hole, turning it until you feel a slight resistance. Keep turning the bracket until it feels tightly secured. If you’re twisting the bracket and aren’t feeling any resistance, pull it back out. Twist the end that goes into the shelf clockwise so the bracket expands. To make sure your shelf is even and steady, use a level and the stud finder to decide where to place the other bracket that will hold up your shelf. Use a pencil to mark where the second bracket will go. Make sure the distance between the 2 brackets isn't longer than the length of your shelf. Follow the same process of drilling a hole into a stud using the drill bits. Place the bracket into the second hole, twisting it until it’s tightly secured.  Remember not to drill too deeply when making the hole for the bracket. It’s a good idea to use the level again once you’ve placed the second bracket, just to make sure the 2 brackets create a level surface. If the brackets aren't level, you'll need to remove 1 from the wall and realign it. Use a ruler to measure the distance from 1 bracket to the next so that you’ll know where to drill the holes in your shelf. You need this measurement to be exact, so take the time to measure it 2 or 3 extra times. Write down the measurement so that you don’t forget...

Consult with the vet to manage feline herpesvirus. Discuss cancer therapies with the vet.

This way, if for any reason a character faints, you will be able to hold a rematch. This will initiate a battle. Start using Fire, Flying, Normal and Poison based attacks. Regirock is a Rock-type Pokémon and will be strong against these attacks, meaning it will effectively lessen the chances that you will cause Regirock to faint, thereby terminating the battle. When Regirock’s HP is low enough, try to capture him using your Pokeballs. Dusk balls are recommended; however, should you fail to capture him within 30 turns, you should start using Timer balls. Timer balls are slightly more effective than Dusk balls, but require the player to have stayed in battle for 30 or more attempts.

Glaucoma is a less common cause of swollen or bulging eyes. However, an injury or infection that resulted in the bulging eye can also cause glaucoma in the future. Glaucoma is incurable, but medications that reduce pressure within the eye and treat inflammation can help manage it. Glaucoma occurs when pressure builds up within the eye due to drainage issues. Injury and infection can cause these drainage issues, so you should take your cat for regular vet exams at least once a year after treating the bulging eye. Feline herpesvirus (FHV) causes eye infections like keratitis and conjunctivitis that result in swollen or bulging eyes. This often occurs as a result of the eyelids gumming shut and pus collecting behind them. Carefully bathe the eyelids with water to get them to open and release the trapped infection. FHV-related eye infections can be treated with antivirals, but if your cat tests positive for FHV, it will be a carrier for the rest of its life. However, the virus will go into a dormancy period, and there are steps you can take to manage it. Do your best to reduce your cat’s stress level by giving it loving attention, letting it have its space, limiting encounters with other animals or small children, and keeping it indoors. Stress will lead to more frequent recurrences, or flare-ups, of the virus. If a malignant tumor has pushed the cat’s eye out of place, immediate surgery will be required to remove the eye and gain access to the tumor, provided the tumor is surgically accessible. Your vet will likely suggest a chemotherapy regimen in addition to surgical removal. With its high cost and risks, the vet might unfortunately recommend euthanasia over cancer treatment. However, cancer treatment in small animals is a rapidly evolving field, so there might be a therapy or combination of therapies available to manage the tumor.

TL;DR in English: Consult with the vet to manage glaucoma. Work with the vet to manage feline herpesvirus. Discuss cancer therapies with the vet.

Place the jars in the canner. Turn up the heat and watch the steam and pressure. Process the jars for the duration of time needed for the type of meat you are canning. Turn off the heat and let the jars cool. Move the jars from the canner to the counter. Store the jars.

It is important to pick a song that fits the occasion, but it also should be easy for you to sing. At home, you can try to sing through songs. A good one won’t make your throat feel tight or sound hoarse. This protects your voice from damage but also gives you a chance to feel comfortable on stage. At church, for example, try singing “Amazing Grace” if you have a high vocal range. You might want to sing “How Great Is Our God” if you have a low range. Naturally, it’s important to know what you are singing before you go on stage. Spend some reading the lyrics aloud. Think about what the words mean, since developing an understanding of them solidifies memory. After you feel comfortable with a line or two, move on to the next ones. Use a unidirectional microphone or speaker system. Face the speaker so the microphone points away from it. This way, you’ll learn to prevent the hiss of feedback as well as have an opportunity to hear how you sound over equipment. Get a longer cord if you need to walk around with the mic.  If you don’t have equipment at home or need exposure, try a karaoke bar or open mic night in your area. Avoid using omnidirectional microphones, which pick up sound from all sides. These are useful for lower volume sounds in studios and sound stages. Try to use the same equipment you’ll use during the performance, if possible. This way, you can familiarize yourself with the location. You may feel more comfortable once you get on stage. You’ll also be aware of how much space you have to move in and how it makes you sound. On stage, you won’t have time to listen to yourself singing. To adjust, memorize how the song feels as you begin practicing it. Learn the song structure, matching the words with the notes they need to be sung at. When you can hit a high C, for example, you’ll know what it feels like. It’ll feel different from a low C. You’ll feel more comfortable when you’re on stage because you’ll be able to feel yourself hitting the notes. Set practice times are fine. Singing outside those sessions...

TL;DR in English: Choose a song that fits the occasion and your vocal range. Read through the lyrics a few lines at a time. Sing into a microphone and speaker system. Practice on the stage where you’ll perform. Focus on the feeling of hitting the right notes. Practice while performing daily activities. Sing for people you trust. Ask people for feedback on your singing.

By inserting a new and larger bottom stop, you’ll be able to cover missing teeth. Thus, your zipper will function normally and won’t get stuck or snagged in the future.  Bottom zipper stops are measured in millimeters. Determine the size you will need by measuring the width of the closed zipper. Turn the garment right side out. Push the prongs of the bottom zipper stop into the fabric directly above the old zipper stop—the new zipper stop will cover the missing bottom teeth. Turn the garment inside out and check if the stop is perpendicular to the zipper. Close the prongs with a pair of pliers to secure it in place.

TL;DR in English: Attach a larger bottom stop.

Use the jar lifter to set them into the canner. Fit as many as you can in the canner at once. Close the lid on the canner and lock it in place. Depending on the type of canner you are using, either leave the pressure weight off or leave the petcock open.  Be sure to read the instructions on the canner to make sure you complete the process correctly. Don't stack jars on top of one another. The canner is working effectively when it begins producing large amounts of steam. Once the jars are inside and the heat is turned up, it should begin producing the appropriate amount of steam within 10 to 15 minutes. The pressure should hold steady at between 10 and 12 pounds, depending on your pressure canner model and altitude. If it rises above that, turn the heat down a little. This may be anywhere from 65 to 90 minutes, and it changes depending on whether the meat is raw or cooked. It's important to process the jars for exactly as long as is recommended for safety purposes.  Stay in the kitchen while the pressure canner is working, and monitor the pressure gauge. If it drops too low or high, adjust the heat on the stove as necessary. When the correct amount of time has elapsed, let the pressure return to zero and the jars cool a bit before you remove them from the pressure canner. Open the lid of the canner and remove the jars with the jar lifter, then set them on a dishtowel. Make sure your workspace isn't too drafty or cold; the cool air could cause the hot jars to crack. Set the jars a few inches apart so they cool properly. You'll hear popping noises as the lids seal.  Don't touch the jars as they cool, or they may not seal properly. Check the seals after the cooling process is finished. They should be slightly indented. Jars that have been properly sealed can be stores on shelves in the pantry or another cool, dark area. Label the jars with their contents and the date before storing them.  Don't store jars of meat in the sunlight or in a warm area. Jars that did not seal should be refrigerated or put through the...

Know that your past does not define your future. Learn from your mistakes. Move on.

A good review introduction will not only hook the reader, but also provide a clear picture of the product under review and the product's advertised benefits.  For first-time users, dedicate some space to explaining the functionality of the product in some detail, treating the product as if all the features are new. Teaching new customers about a product is an important aspect of a product review. For experienced consumers, focus on the evolution of a product from one model to the next, as well as any common defects or problems users may have encountered in the past. Long-time users of a product will often read reviews for solutions to problems, giving you a chance to demonstrate your knowledge of a product. Provide the reader with the basic information a consumer likes to know before buying a product. This may include brand name, model number, measurements, target demographic, price, and so on. Talk about what you liked AND what you didn't like about the product. The most helpful reviews are those that outline both the pros and cons of a product, while readers will most likely skip reviews full of effusive praise or bitter criticism.  Make sure to clearly explain how you arrived at your judgments, and specifically address why you believe certain features are beneficial and why you consider others flaws. Most people will be looking for an unbiased review of a product, and thus a clearly explained, balanced review is more likely to be read than a review that focuses too much on the positive or negative aspects of a product (unless warranted, of course). Discuss the product under review in light of similar products available to buyers, comparing the pros and cons of each. This will both demonstrate your research and knowledge, and provide the reader with a point of reference when making their next purchase. This is particularly important for first-time buyers who may require a point of reference before deciding to purchase. Describe for the reader who you believe would benefit the most from the product, which...

TL;DR in English: Write the introduction. Describe the product under review. Be balanced. Compare and contrast products. Pinpoint the target audience. Write the conclusion. Publish the review.

You may have had some downs, some failed grades or poor relationships - this does not mean that you will fail every exam you ever take or have poor relationships for the rest of your life. Acknowledge any role that you may have played in these and also look at other factors that may have been at play. The point of this is not to point fingers or lay blame on any one. Understand that you have some control over the quality of your life. Look at things that may have gone wrong in the past and look at your behavior then and now. Forgive yourself. Are there any lessons that you can draw from them? Write them down. Is there anything you’re doing that you know will have consequences that you will regret later? Instead, do something that will be of benefit to you later, or at the very least will not cause any harm. You will have to exercise some discipline. It’s easy to repeat behavior just because it’s familiar, it’s what you’re used to doing in a particular situation. For example, if you’re used to eating lots of sweet things and now you have diabetes, it will take time to adjust to your eating habits. Take the lessons you’ve learned, and carry on with life. As your past defined your present, your present will define your future. What you do now, will affect your future.  Allow yourself to fully feel any grievance you may have for the past. For a friendship that went sour or for a project you set out to do that didn’t work out the way you wanted. Write about it or discuss it with someone you trust. Express your view on the matter and why you’re upset about it. This will help you better understand your situation.  Accept that what’s done is done and that you can only deal with the here and now. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and if you can, make amends with others. Internalizing this may take longer than a day. Your choices, habits and behavior in the past made who you are today. It will take time to cultivate new habits that will make who you are tomorrow.

Not all dealers are as accommodating to low or poor credit scores. You will need to find a dealer that is willing to work with your credit to get you the loan that you want.  Some dealers specialize in this and have unique relationships with lenders that are ready to work with you.  You will need to speak with the dealer's finance team or department directly to learn if they can help you. Inform them clearly of your situation. You won't get an accurate picture of how likely you are to be financed if you don't convey your exact credit situation to your dealers finance team. You may not need to submit an application for financing to learn if you will get the loan or not.  A capable finance manager should be able to tell you how likely you are to receive the loan when you do actually apply. It may be tempting to apply wherever you can in an attempt to successfully get your application accepted. However, applying to many lenders at once can actually hurt your credit score further. You should also know that not all lenders are ideal for a motorcycle loan.  Apply only to lenders that specialize in personal loans or in motorcycle loans. Look for key terms such as bad credit, poor credit, no credit, motorcycle financing, or after bankruptcy loans. Remember, though, that bankruptcy will typically not be a factor if it has been discharged for two or more years. Loans made to people with bad credit may have higher interest rates. Be fully aware of the conditions of your loan before accepting. A co-signer to a loan is another person that promises to take on payments if you are unable. If your co-signer has a better credit score than you, this can help you to obtain the loan you are seeking.  Your co-signer should have excellent credit. Having a co-signer helps assure your lender that they are more likely to receive their payments. If you have made payments on another motorcycle, you can demonstrate your consistency on those payments. Despite your low credit score, by showing your previous motorcycle payments were always...

TL;DR in English: Talk with your dealer. Find the right lender. Inform your lender if you have a co-signer. Demonstrate your payments on a previous motorcycle. Make a larger down payment.

It's important to give your Cavalier new experiences, especially while he's still very young (before 18 weeks old). He'll consider the new sights and sounds to be normal which can help build his confidence. This socialization will also prevent over-anxious behavior as he gets older. Make sure your Cavalier meets a wide range of people, dogs, and experiences. You can take your dog to a socialization class run by your vet or a reputable trainer in the area. Train your Cavalier in small doses and often. Keep the sessions to five minutes at a time and do them three times a day. Your dog will respond better to this than if you do one long half-hour session. Choose a time when your dog isn't hungry or tired, so he pays attention. Stop the session if he looses interest. Always try to end on a positive note, with a command you know your dog can do. Use a clicker to teach your dog to associate a click-clack sound with receiving a reward when he obeys a command. Practice by throwing a treat on the floor and let your Cavalier eat it. As soon as he goes to the treat, press the clicker. Repeat this till he associates the click-clack sound with looking for a treat. Start giving commands and when he obeys, press the clicker as his reward. For example, when your Cavalier toilets outside, immediately press the clicker so he knows he's being rewarded for toileting in the right place. When you use the clicker training, always start with a verbal command word. For example, say "Sit" and click once he follows the command. Once he's comfortable following verbal commands with the clicker reward, stop using the clicker, but continue to use verbal commands. For example, you could run a few steps away from your Cavalier while slapping your leg and calling his name. He'll instinctively want to keep close to you, so this is good practice in responding to his name. Your Cavalier will only associate punishment with you instead of the action you dislike. This can damage your relationship, actually making it harder to train him. Instead,...

TL;DR in English: Expose your dog to others. Choose good times to train. Clicker train your dog. Use verbal commands. Never hit or yell at your dog.

Bundling is a packing method used to greatly reduce wrinkles and creases. You'll wrap each garment around a core object, creating a snug bundle in the process.  Since this method requires you to wrap your clothes, you won't actually do any folding. The lack of folding results in a lack of creases. Wrapping items of clothing around a core and around each other also creates tension. This tension minimizes wrinkling. Find an organizer pouch with surface dimensions that are approximately 11 inches by 16 inches (30 cm by 40 cm).  The best dimensions can vary slightly depending on how many clothes you plan to pack and how wide your suitcase is. This size works well for most circumstances, though. You can technically use any small object with fixed dimensions like these. Since you can fill the pouch with other necessities, however, it is typically your best option. Roll or fold the socks and undergarments you plan to pack and carefully arrange them inside the pouch.  Similar items, like swimsuits, can also be packed in your pouch. Place soft items in this pouch, and fill the pouch with enough of these items to create a firm pillow. The idea is to make a firm core, but it should not be a rigid one. Do not put anything in your pouch that you need quick access to. Take the time to iron out any major creases or wrinkles before you pack any of your garments. Correct bundling should prevent additional wrinkles from forming, but it will not remove any wrinkles currently in your clothes. Secure all fasteners on all garments. Button your shirts and jackets, zipper any trousers or skirts, and snap up any pockets. Closed surfaces will be easier to wrap than wide, open surfaces. Clear your bed or a large area on a table or floor. It will be easiest to create your bundle in a flat spot with little clutter. Another option is to open your suitcase wrap the bundle directly inside. Doing so is more difficult and not ideal, but it can work in situations where wide space is not an option. Large wrinkle-prone garments will need to be...

Keeping your bag tightly stuffed or rolled for long periods of time will make it lose loft, which is what traps hot air to keep you warm. While you want to roll your bag tightly to travel with, you should never store your bag compressed or jammed in a stuff-sack. Loosely roll your bag, or let it rest, lightly folded, when it is not in use. The layering on the outside of these bags is great at keeping air out when you need to stay warm, but it can keep air in when you need it to escape for packing. Turn these bags inside out, zip them up, and then roll them as normal. These bags come with several straps and cinches that let you pull down on the top of the bag and get it even smaller. They are usually waterproof, and you can often get a large enough bag the lets you stuff several other items, like shirts or camping pillows, in with the bag. Always start packing by the tail if you use a stuff sack -- this allows the air in the bag to escape through the top. While you should never stuff your bag and store it fully compressed, good bag care requires brushing out any dirt, twigs, and leaves and letting the bag dry out completely when your trip is over. Mold and mildew will grow if your bag is allowed to be stored wet, and it is tough to remove once it grows. Let the bag rest outside on a dry day for several hours and brush out any debris. UV light can damage the sleeping bag fibers, so take care not to leave the bag in the sun all day. A few loose pieces of down is not uncommon in new sleeping bags. Gently work the quills back into the bag, pulling from the back side whenever possible. The holes will close back up and the insulation should settle with time.

TL;DR in English: Know that prolonged compression will make your bag less effective. Turn wind or water resistant bags inside out. Use a stuff-sack for tighter packing. Air out your bag when you return from your trip. Gently pull any leaking down feather back into the bag.

Bathroom policies will vary from school to school, teacher to teacher, and grade to grade. If you do not understand the bathroom policy, ask your teacher or professor to explain the rules and procedures to you. If you can not remember the restroom rules, ask your teacher to remind you of the rules. If you can not comply with any part of the bathroom policy, set up a meeting with your parents, teacher, and principal to discuss the concern and develop a solution you can all agree on.  In elementary, middle, and high school, you may be required to ask for permission to use the restroom. In college and graduate school, most professors will let your come and go from the classroom as you please. When you do get up to use restroom, leave and re-enter the room quietly and discretely. If you are an exchange student, ask your host family, roommate, teacher, or professor to explain the country's cultural norms regarding using the bathroom at school. Before asking to use the bathroom, make sure it is a convenient time for you to ask this question. Ask yourself, “Is it a good time to talk to my teacher and leave the classroom?”  Avoid asking your teacher to use the bathroom when they are in the middle of giving instructions, during the middle of a lecture, or during a lesson. Do ask your teacher to use the restroom during independent work times, when you have finished all of your class work, or after you have completed a test. If it is an emergency, remain calm and ask your teacher immediately. When it comes to asking to use the restroom, each teacher has a different policy. While some teachers prefer the traditional method of raising your hand to ask for permission, other teachers find this practice disrupting. Instead, they insist that their students use a special hand signal.  Raise your hand, wait patiently to be called on, and ask for permission to use the restroom. “May I please go to the restroom, Mr./Mrs/Ms. ____.” Raise your hand with the special signal (perhaps crossed fingers) and patiently wait for a response....

TL;DR in English: Determine your teacher's restroom policy. Choose an appropriate time to ask if you may use the bathroom. Ask to use the bathroom. Respect your teacher’s answer.

Research your partner's style preferences to find out what kind of ring would make them happy. Have they always wanted a brilliant diamond, or would it be more dazzling to have the ring set with a colorful stone? Pay attention when your partner mentions what kind of styles they like, and take a look at some of their other jewelry for comparison. A wedding proposal is a momentous occasion, and they've probably been dreaming all their life about the day someone pops the question with the perfect ring.  Having an engagement ring set with your partner's birthstone can be a moving alternative to the traditional diamond.  Using your partner's other jewelry for reference can save you a lot of trouble weeding out options. For instance, if most of the rings and necklaces they own are silver, it's a safe bet that they are partial to silver over other decorative metals. In jeweler’s lingo, the “four Cs” refer to the Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color of diamonds and other precious gemstones. These are the most important qualities to look for when shopping for a ring set with a stone, and since you’ll be shelling out a lot of money for it, it can pay to know how to appraise what you’re shown. If you have a notion of what you’re after in terms of each “C,” you’ll also have a much easier time communicating your needs to the jewelry specialist.  Cut deals with the shape and texture of a stone. These might come in their raw forms, or they can be cut with precise angles for greater symmetry and appeal. Carat is a term that denotes a stone’s size. The higher the number of carats, the bigger the rock, and the more you can expect to pay for it. Clarity is a desirable trait of gemstones that have a uniform, translucent appearance and are lacking any unwanted imperfections in shape. Color refers to the natural hues of a stone, and is largely a matter of preference. Diamonds of the highest purity are most often clear or opalescent, but they can also be red, pink or blue, and some of these colors are exceedingly rare and valuable....
